I'm not a Christian and don't really believe in God, but I think this is pretty obvious. And if they choose to ignore the parts that would have them killing people, isn't that better? Who cares if they don't actually obey the whole Bible, verbatim, the last thing we need is more religious extremists.

Again, my problem is with people that claim to believe in "every sing word of the Bible." Read over the things I said again and maybe you will understand my point. No, it wouldn't be better if they were killing people. If they aren't killing people though then they do not believe in the entire Bible. If you don't believe in the entire bible then don't claim to be fucking "Born again" and believe every word of the book. It just makes you look ignorant. Especially don't even think about judging me after saying you believe every word of that book. You just told me that you want to murder me because I don't see the world as you do simply by saying those words. To me, someone saying they believe in that entire book makes them want to kill me and other people that I see as innocent. This goes with a number of the religions that started in the middle east. If you believe every word of it then in my opinion you are a sick murderer and you also put women below men.
